There were 14 starters in today's run along the banks of the Yarra, and we warmly welcome Michael and Sophia to the group this week.
There was a group of 4 runners who chose to run the 2 km distance, and Elizabeth was the first of these back over the line, followed by Jacinta and new runners, Michael and Sophia. In the longer, handicapped distances, the first back after the 30 minute mark today was Steve. Congratulations on taking out the points in today's run 10 seconds ahead of James. Monica and Catherine came in equal third (once handicaps had been applied) ahead of Renee, with Louanna and Nada only being separated by one second. Adrienne managed to hold off Paul for eighth place and Jozica was the last runner home today.
No-one managed a personal best time today, but one runner came in within 15 seconds of their PB for their chosen distance:
well run James.
Next week the run will be on Sunday 5 November at 7:30 am, and the time will then revert on Saturdays to 7:00 am for the remainder of the Summer season.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 389
It was amazing to see 16 starters at the gazebo for the run today. There were definitely runners covering each of the distances: 2, 3, 4 and 5 km. We welcomed Catherine and Alice to the group this week, both running the 2 km distance today.
In the 2 km distance, first over the line was Elizabeth, followed by Catherine and Alice. In the longer, handicapped distances it was James who was first over the line after the 30 minute mark this week, with Jozica, Nada, Steve and Monica all nipping at his heels. The first five people all came in within about 20 seconds of each other. Dennis, Louanna and Atsuko were in the next group of runners, all within a three second time frame.Jon, Adrienne, Jacinta, Paul and Tessa were much more spread out at the end of the field. Nada was certainly kept on her toes keeping the times today.
No-one ran a Personal Best time over their chosen distance today, but two people were within 15 seconds of their PB:
well run James and Monica.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 28 October at 7:30 am.

Run 388
There was a 'crispness' to the air this morning as we began the run, but we certainly warmed up quickly once we started. Thanks to Jozica and Peter for helping with the timing this morning and good luck to everyone running the marathon/half marathon tomorrow.
Atsuko was off like a rocket again, and had a perfectly timed run, coming in just ofter the 30 minute mark this morning and taking out her second win for the season. Nada and Steve were not too far behind her managing second and third places today. Renee ran very well not fourth position and Emma was back and managed fifth position today. Paul rounded out the field for the runners in the longer distances. Amelia and Jacinta took on the 2 km course today and both ran very well.
There was only one person who managed to get within 15 seconds of their PB this week and no-one managed to beat their personal best time over their chosen distance:
Well run to Atsuko.
As now sits 20 points clear on the Consistency Table for this season, with James, Will and Angela fighting it out for second place.
Next week the run will be on Saturday October 21 at 7:30 am.

Run 387
It was a lovely morning to run along the banks of the Yarra and this morning James started us off and kept the times for us - thanks very much, James! There were people running all of the distances: 2, 3, 4 and 5 km today.
First over the line after the 30 minute mark today was Sandi in a very nicely timed run, but she did have to put on a spurt of speed at the end to stave off a quick finish from Atsuko, with Angela only seconds back. Will managed to run into fourth place today and James' time put him into fifth place. Elizabeth managed a very good time in her first 3 km distance and ended up ahead of her brother, Henry. Louanna, Renee and Jacinta rounded out the longer distances. Over two kilometres, we had two runners today and Paul managed to come in first ahead of Harrison.
Atsuko has moved to the top of the consistency table, moving just ahead of James and Will. It looks like it will be an interesting season. Remember that only your best ten runs from the season can count towards your consistency points.
There was one personal best time recorded today:
Well done to Sandi, who beat her previous best 3 km time by 38 seconds.
Three people were within 15 seconds of their PB for their chosen distance today:
Congratulations to Angela, Will and Paul.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 14 October remaining at 7:30 am for the moment until all responses have been collated from our survey.
If you have not yet responded, please send an email to Paul at wrrunners@gmail.com to let him know if you would like to move the start time for Saturday runs back to 7:00 am (as has been the tradition) or to leave it at 7:30 am or if you don't mind either way.

Run 386 and a question about Summer starting times
It was a lovely morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra today. There were 11 starters over all of the distances (2, 3, 4 and 5 km) this morning, and we thank Nada fro running early and then being our timekeeper today.
Monica took off like a rocket today and managed to be the first person back over the line, but unfortunately she was under the 30 minute mark and so was considered to break today. That left the win open for Angela who came in just after the 30 minute mark, just 4 seconds ahead of Nada's time. James was in third place, again only seconds ahead of Will. Henry managed to come in fifth, with Adrienne in sixth place. Steve, Paul and Jacinta rounded out the field for the longer distances. Elizabeth was the only runner on the 2 km course and she continues to run well over this distance.
After five runs, James is sitting on top of the consistency leaderboard just one point ahead of Atsuko with Will in third place. Looks like being a close season.
There were three runners who ran personal best times over their chosen distance today:
Will beat his previous 3 km PB by 15 seconds,
Angela beat her PB by 10 seconds, and
Monica took 10 seconds off her previous PB.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on Sunday 8 October at 7:30 am.
In previous years, as we change to daylight savings time, we usually begin our Saturday runs at 7:00 am instead of 7:30 (the Sunday time remains at 7:30 all year round). I have been asked if people would like to leave the Saturday time at 7:30 as well. Could you please respond by emailing me (or responding to the email sent out) with a preference for Saturday times: START AT 7:00; START AT 7:30; or DON'T MIND EITHER WAY. I will collate the responses and let you know the decision. Thanks
